We're back from Iowa and my grandpa's funeral. It was sad and wonderful all at the same time. I have 7 cousins and I can't tell you the last time (or really if ever) we have all been together but this week, everyone came for my grandpa's funeral. It was really nice. I'll try to post a picture later - my uncle took a lot of pics.
I was overwhelmed by all the food that was given to my grandma for all of us to eat. Definitely a small-town thing but also a great tribute to how much my grandparents helped others and how much they were loved.
My grandpa served in the navy from 1943-45, much of the time in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor so there was also a gun salute, my grandma was given his flag & they played taps. Honestly, that and watching my grandma say goodbye at the graveside service, were probably the hardest parts for me.
On a good note, all 5 of us slept in one room at a hotel (2 double beds & a pack 'n play) for 2 nights and we did it! Both Gregg & I found out what bedhogs our children are and of course, we were happy to be back in our home beds last night but I was truly amazed at how well everyone did...

I'm so glad everything went well. Those kinds of situations can be so stressful with little ones. Praise God!
